DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Technical solutions according to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and fully as below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of embodiments of the present disclosure. It is apparent that the described embodiments are just a part but not all of the embodiments of the disclosure. Based on the described embodiments herein, a person of ordinary skill in the art can obtain other embodiment(s), without any creative work, which shall be within the scope of the present disclosure.
The inventors found that, for a narrow frame or a frameless design, it is equivalent to inverting the current display panel, so that the TFT array substrate is close to the light exiting side. But in this arrangement, metal signal lines in the TFT array substrate and the gate lines would reflect the ambient light. Particularly when the ambient light is strong, the reflection of light exiting surface is even more severe, so that it would result in a poor contrast of the display panel, and the display effect is affected.
The embodiments of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to the following examples, which are described in detail.
FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view of an array substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The array substrate mainly includes: a base substrate 11, a signal line 12 disposed on the base substrate 11. The array substrate further includes an extinction layer 13 disposed between the base substrate 11 and the signal line 12, and the extinction layer 13 is configured to reduce an ambient light entering the signal line 12 when the array substrate is located on a light exiting side. An orthographic projection of the signal line 12 in a plane of the base substrate is coincided with an orthographic projection of the extinction layer 13 in the plane of the base substrate.
The extinction layer provided in the present embodiment is capable of reducing a portion of the ambient light, and the ambient light entering the signal line is reduced, correspondingly, the reflected light by the signal line is reduced. The problem of a decreased display contrast has been avoided, which is caused by the reflection of the ambient light by the signal line.
In addition, the array substrate further includes: a TFT device, a data line, a via hole, a pixel electrode, or the like. They are not shown in the drawings, and they are not described herein in detail.
To solve a problem that the display contrast in the frameless display panel is decreased by the reflection of ambient light by the signal line, for example, in the described array substrate of the present embodiment of the present disclosure, the extinction layer is disposed between the base substrate and the signal line, and is configured to reduce the ambient light entering the signal line when the array substrate is located on a light exiting side, so that it can eliminate the reflection and visual exposure when the signal line is close to the light exiting side. In the present embodiment, the ambient light entering the signal line is decreased by decreasing the ambient light by the extinction layer, to allow the ambient light reflected by the signal line to be decreased, and the display contrast of the display panel is improved. Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the extinction layer in the plane of the base substrate is coincided with the orthographic projection of the signal line in the plane of the base substrate, that is, the pattern of the extinction layer is the same as the pattern of the signal line, so that it will not affect the transmittance of the display panel. The display contrast is enhanced, while the transmittance of the display panel is ensured, and the display image quality is improved.
For example, to better reduce the ambient light entering the display panel, darker amorphous silicon, or semiconductor mixture doped with amorphous silicon may be selected for the material of the extinction layer, however, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the extinction layer of these materials can effectively avoid the problem of the decreased display contrast caused by the reflection of the ambient light by the signal line.
In embodiments of the present disclosure, the extinction layer can reduce the ambient light by ways below, for example.
Way I: Interference Extinction Principle
Since lights with various wavelengths can be extinct in some certain interference extinction condition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the thickness of the extinction layer satisfies the following interference extinction formula:
d=(2n+1)λ/4N  (1),
where d is the thickness of the extinction layer, λ is the wavelength of the visible light in the air, N is the refractive index of the extinction layer, n is a natural number.
In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the extinction layer with the thickness defined in the interference extinction principle can reduce the ambient light, and can effectively avoid the problem of the decreased display contrast caused by the reflection of the ambient light from the signal line.
For example, the visible light has wavelength λ in a range from 350 nm to 770 nm; and the value of n is any natural number. For the ambient light, its wavelength can be the average value of the wavelength of the visible light, for example, about 550 nm. Considering the restriction to the thickness of the display panel, that is, to meet the requirement of thinner and lighter design for the display panel, the value of n is, for example, 0. In this way, when the wavelength λ is 550 nm, n is 0, and the refractive index of the extinction layer is 4, the thickness of the extinction layer is about 340 Å. That is, the extinction layer with this thickness satisfies the interference extinction conditions, when the ambient light enters the array substrate, an interference extinction phenomenon can be occurred in the extinction layer, so that the ambient light entering the signal line is reduced or even avoided, and the light reflected by the signal line to human eyes would be reduced, as well as the display contrast of the display panel is enhanced. Furthermore, the pattern of the extinction layer is the same as the pattern of the signal line, the transmittance of the region where the signal line is not located would not be affected, and the display effect is improved as a whole.
The extinction layer provided in the present embodiment is capable of reducing a portion of the ambient light, and the ambient light entering the signal line is decreased, correspondingly, the reflected light from the signal line is reduced. In this way, the problem of the decreased display contrast can be avoided, which is caused by the reflection of the ambient light by the signal line.
Way II: Diffuse Reflection Principle
In a frameless design, the main reason for the decreased contrast is that the signal line is often made of a metal and has a smooth surface, a mirror reflection to the entering light occurs easily. As illustrated in FIG. 2(a), according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, to avoid the problem, an extinction layer is disposed between the signal line 22 and the base substrate 21, and a plurality of protrusion structures 231 are disposed on at least one surface of the extinction layer 23. A shape of the protrusion structure 231 may be triangular, trapezoidal or irregular, and the shapes of the plurality of protrusion structures may be same, or different, however, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The structure of the extinction layer may include types below, For example.
Type I: a plurality of protrusion structures 231 are disposed on the surface of the extinction layer 23 near the signal line 22, as illustrated in FIG. 2(a);
Type II: a plurality of protrusion structures 231 are disposed on the surface of the extinction layer 23 away from the signal line 22, as illustrated in FIG. 2(b);
Type III: a plurality of protrusion structures 231 are disposed on both surfaces of the extinction layer 23, as illustrated in FIG. 2(c);
Embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the above described ways and types.
No matter which one of the above types is selected, the presence of a plurality of protrusion structures allows a rough surface of the extinction layer, so that it is easy to diffuse the ambient light entering the extinction layer. In this way, the light entering the signal line is reduced, and the light reflected by the signal line to human eyes is reduced, thus the display contrast of the display panel is enhanced. Furthermore, the pattern of the extinction layer is the same as the pattern of the signal line, the transmittance of the region, where the signal line is not located, would not be affected, and the display effect is improved as a whole.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, to enhance the diffuse reflection effect, for example, the extinction layer of type III is used.
For example, the signal line provided in embodiments of the present disclosure is a gate line, or a common electrode line, furthermore, both the gate line and the common electrode line may be similarly provided.
Meanwhile, a display device is also provided in embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, a frameless display device is provided, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the display device includes the array substrate 31 described in above embodiments, and a color film substrate 32 disposed oppositely. The array substrate 31 is located on a light exiting surface of the display device. Since the extinction layer is disposed on the array substrate of the display device, while realizing a frameless design, it is also possible to reduce the ambient light entering the signal line by reducing the ambient light, so that the ambient light reflected by the signal line is reduced. The display contrast is enhanced, and the display quality of the display device is improved.
The extinction layer provided in the present embodiment is capable of reducing a portion of the ambient light to allow the ambient light entering the signal line to be decreased, and the reflected light by the signal line is decreased, correspondingly. The problem of the decreased display contrast is avoided, which is caused by the reflection of the ambient light by the signal line.
With the same conception as the array substrate provided in embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for manufacturing the array substrate is also provided in embodiments of the present disclosure, which is described in detail in the following embodiments.
FIG. 4 is a flow chart of manufacturing method for an array substrate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which includes following steps.
Step 41: providing a base substrate.
Step 42: forming a patterned extinction layer and a patterned signal line on the base substrate by a single patterning process.
In this embodiment, the patterned extinction layer and the patterned signal line are formed on the base substrate by a single patterning process. In this way, the extinction layer and the signal line can be formed by a single patterning process in the present embodiment, and the process is saved and simplified. Meanwhile, the structure of the produced array substrate can avoid the problem that the display contrast is decreased, which is caused by the reflection of the ambient light by the signal line.
In addition, the method for manufacturing the array substrate can further include processes of forming a TFT device, an insulating layer and a pixel electrode, these processes can be performed routinely.
For example, the step 42 includes the following steps.
421: sequentially depositing an extinction layer and a metal layer on a surface of the base substrate.
For example, the extinction layer 52 and the metal layer 53 are deposited on a surface of the base substrate 51 by a physical vapor deposition process, or a chemical vapor deposition process, as illustrated in FIG. 5(a); the extinction layer can be formed by darker amorphous silicon, or semiconductor mixture doped with amorphous silicon. The material of the metal layer is a metal, or metal mixture, such as copper, silver, nickel, or the like, however, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
422: etching the metal layer by a photolithography process with a mask, and forming a patterned signal line.
For example, firstly, as illustrated in FIGS. 5(b) and 5(c), a photoresist P (such as a positive photoresist) with a thickness is applied on the metal layer 53; secondly, the metal layer 53 is exposed and developed by the mask S, and the dissolved photoresist after being developed is peeled off; finally, as illustrated in FIG. 5(d), a part of the metal layer 53 on which the photoresist is peeled off is etched, and the patterned signal line 54 is formed on the other part of the metal layer on which the photoresist is retained.
423: etching the extinction layer by using the pattern of the signal line, and forming a patterned extinction layer which has the same pattern as the patterned signal line.
In this step, since the signal line 54 has been patterned and the pattern of the extinction layer 55 is the same as the pattern of the signal line 54, there is no need for an additional patterning process for the extinction layer, but masking the extinction layer by using the formed pattern of the signal lines, so as to etch the exposed region of the extinction layer and form the patterned extinction layer 55 which has the same pattern as the patterned signal line, as illustrated in FIG. 5(e).
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pattern of the extinction layer is the same as the pattern of the signal line, it is not necessary to pattern the extinction layer and the signal line separately, the extinction layer and the signal line can be formed by a single patterning process. In this way, the process is saved and simplified. In addition, the extinction layer capable of reducing the ambient light is formed, so that the ambient light entering the signal line is reduced. Further, the light reflected by the signal line is reduced, and the contrast of the display device subsequently fabricated is enhanced.
